The pics look wrong but yard stick and gizmo say otherwise. This is 24 inches. I left the bottom limb stiif intentionaly.

Bottom limb doesn't look stiff...Is the bottom limb shorter?

No Mr. Davis I think its the camera angle. every thing is symmetrical. Bottom limbs not much stiffer just a tad, done it by accident on the last bow and it shot great figured I try it on this one.

 Looks like money JW...I think you have a hidden talent buddy...Seriously even bend...Are sure you haven't been doing this for 20 years and you are sand bagging us...Super so far leaving the last 6" stiff and fades are beginning to move...I like the fact that you are showing "in hand tiller" and balance in your pictures.... :OK

Don, I flipped that pic every which way but loose. I see it but if I turn the bow over it looks the same. So I'm thinking its canted in the pics or my in hand tiller is different than the tree which I would assume it is. I'm trying to use the tree for basic tiller but want the final judgment to be done in hand because the tree aint shooting it I am.  Ill take us some more pics, got to remove a lil weight any how. Cant do any shooting today its raining and I don't want to work that raw hickory in this weather. Its in the house so its safe for now.
Thanks Don.

Be careful judging top against bottom by a picture. I've seen so many bows on here that look like the bottom limb is bent more. These are bow by people that just don't make bows like that. The picture does something weird. At least for me. I've taken two pictures of my bows, swapping top for bottom and both pics look like the bottom limb is bending more. It could be the way I'm holding the bow or something. I bought a 1'x4' mirror so I could look at it that way and then noticed that the mirror was bending when I leaned it against the wall. This warped the picture so I have to glue the mirror to a piece of plywood. It's on my list.

That is what I call perfect. I don't worry what limb appears stronger or weaker. If it balances nicely in your hand and doesn't act up upon release, you win.

DC, ive noticed the same thing exactly. I stopped relying on pics. I post because you guys can spot things I'm not certain of yet as far as proper tiller for the style of bow, more bend towards fades, tips need to be stiffer that sort of thing. My ultimate goal is to be like Jim Davis  old school, if it aint broke don't fix it.

Pearl drums, I sneak in a couple shots at 3/4 draw since the weather broke. It feels like its going to be a good one.
